Rosie on the House Certified Partner Since 1996

Durafoam has been Rosie on the House's go-to for foam roofing since 1996.

Rosie on the House certifies only the contractors Arizona homeowners can trust — and for nearly 30 years, Durafoam has been their answer for foam roofing questions on the radio, in print, and now on video.

The story in one paragraph

Durafoam Roofing has been a Rosie on the House Certified Partner since 1996 — one of the longest-standing contractor relationships in the network. Rosie on the House is Arizona's most trusted home-improvement resource, reaching homeowners through a Saturday radio broadcast on KTAR 620, a video podcast, and rosieonthehouse.com. Owner Tim Forstie has appeared on the show multiple times to explain foam roofing to Arizona homeowners, most recently in a June 2026 episode, "A Guide to Foam Roofing with Durafoam Roofing." Rosie on the House certifies only contractors it has independently vetted — the certification isn't paid advertising, it's a standing recommendation Rosie Romero makes to her own listeners.

"The primary reason to use foam is the insulation factor it provides."
— Tim Forstie, on why foam outperforms other roofing materials
"Many of the old roofs we do can be recovered with foam. We clean and prepare the existing membrane and then install the Durafoam system over the top. The process saves on costs for the homeowner and helps the environment by keeping old roofing materials out of our landfills."
— Tim Forstie, on foam-over-existing-roof installs
"We recommend that homeowners have their roofs inspected annually to catch potential problems before they can cause costly repairs."
— Tim Forstie, on roof maintenance
"Recoating can extend roof life while restoring waterproofing and reflectivity."
